Howdy,

Personally, I'm not opposed to this. When each packet has one payer,
it doesn't much matter whether the payer is sender or recipient.

If they're still going to be picky about settlement-free peering for
the subscriber-paid packets then there's still a network neutrality
problem. But the problem isn't in letting content providers pay to
bypass subscriber data caps.
